011. STOVE.

Application filed January This invention relates to oil stoves, and itsobjects are to provide a very simple, compact and inenoensive oil stoveof the stand type that may be used "for cooking, the same being oi itheclass used for camping, pi'cniclrand other purposes where a light, cheapand readily portable stove-is desired; and to provide a novelconstruct-ion for a stove of the foregoing nature which, if desired, maybe mane for convenient-assembling by the dealer or user without the useof tools, thus enabling the structure to be packed in dis-' assembledcondition in compact form. for storage and shipment.

The foregoing objects, with others hereinafter appearing,are attained inthe embodiments of the invention illustrated in the accompanyingdrawings wherein Fig. 1 is a central-vertical section through the stove;Fig. 2 is a horizontal section on the'line 22 of 1 1 is a side elevationof a modified form of he invention, parts being shown in section todisclose certain structural details; and 5 is an inside elevational viewof i one, of the legs of the latter form of. the invention.

A suitable number of legsl, three being at present preferred cOnnect topand bottom members or rings 2 and 3, respectively. I The legs are ofchannel formation, and the webs otthe channels-are spot welded orotherwise connected at top and bottom to the respective rings 2 and 8,said webs being beaded throughout the greater portion of thedistancebetween said rings, as shown at t. The top and bottom rings have flanges5 and 6, respectively, against which the ends of the legs engage. Theforegoing partsare all preferably made from sheet metal, the rings 2 and3 being rolled from strips and held in annular form by their widerflanges being extended at one end beyond their-narrower flanges toprovide tongues 2 and respectively, that are spot welded or. otherwisesecured to the opposite ends of said wider flanges. Resting within thetop ring 2 isa grid 6* for the support of a cooking utensil or otherobject to be heated. r p

A suitable distance upwardly from their lower ends, the side flanges ofthe legs 1 are widened, as shown at 7, and notched, as shown at 8 (Fig.3) for the reception of a peripheral bead 10 that surrounds an annularoil reservoir 11 within the central open- 3 is a detail of one of thelegs,

ing of which-is disposed an oil burner 12'. This burner is ofthe'tubular t pe and is comprised ofinner and outer tubes 13 and 1 1which are connected together at their lower ends by a Wall 15, therebyto enclose an oil space 16 within which a cylindrical stitute no part ofmy presentinvention.

The collar 22 is connected to and spaced 2 from the upper end of theouter burner tube 14: by brackets 24, and fins .25 connect the ou'ner tothe reservoir 11. Communication. is established between the reservoirand the lower portion of the oil space 16 through a pipe26. Surroundingthe upper end of the burner and shown as supported thereabove by thelower end of the collar 22 is the usual burner drum or flue 27.

When it is desired to construct the stove in such manner that it may bepacked or shipped in. disassembled condition for the sake of compactnessand convenience of handling, the tops and. bottoms'of the legs '1 may bemade to have an interlocking con nection with'the rings 2 and 3, andsuch a connection 1s illustrated in Fig. 4 where the webs of the legsare shown as having tongues struck from their upper and lower ends forengagement through slots in the top and bottom rings 2 and 3 the'tonguesbeing preforabl turned over on the outer sides of the rings so as tobetter secure the parts together.'

In the present structure I have shown a further change which avoidshaving toiform the side flanges of the legs 1 with the enlarge- -ments7. In the present instance short channel members 32 are fitted withinthe legs 1 and prongs 53 which project from the ends of the channelmembers are. inserted through slots in the webs of the legs and turnedover therebeyond. The side flanges 3 1 of the channel members taperinwardly from their opposite ends to about the center where they areprovided with notches 35 for the reception of the bead 10 of thereservoir 11; 7

It may be explained that the legs 1 are suiiiciently resilient to permittheir being bowed outwardly and thus disengaged from the bead 10 of thereservoir 11, permitting the reservoir to be tilted and removed from theframe Structure. in cleaning the burner and especially in draining thereservoir. The cam shape given the flanges of the legs 1 in the vicinityof the notches 8, and the flanges 34 of the channel members 32 in theregion of the notches 35, enable the reservoir to be easily inserted, asby engaging the bead 10, adjacent one side of the reservoir, in thenotches of two of the legs, and then pressing the reservoir to ahorizontal position durin which it Will cause a slight spreading of thelegs until the bead 10 registers with the notches of the re maining legupon the occurrence ofwhich the legs will spring inwardly and securelyloci: the reservoir in place. In the form of the invention shown in Fig.4, the presence of the reservoir in the frame structure insures againstinward movement of the legs and consequently against any possibility ofthe ends of the legs becoming disengaged from the top and bottom rings 2and 3.

Having: thus described my invention, what I claim is 1. A stovecomprising a top member, a bottom member, legs having their upper andlower ends detachably connected to said members, and a burner structuresupported solely by and between the legs and detachably connectedthereto, said burner structure serving to maintain the legs in suchposition as to prevent their disconnection from the top and bottommembers.

2. A stove structure comprising a top ring, a bottom ring adapted torest on a sup porting surface, resilient legs having their upper and.lower ends disposed inside and bearing on said rings, the legs havingin- This is an advantage wardly opening notches spaced asuitabledistance above the bottom ring, and a burner structureincorporating a reservoir havin a peripheral bead that is, engagedwithin the notches of the legs.

3. A stove structure comprising .a top ring, a bottom ring, resilientlegs having 7 their upper and lower ends engaged within and interlockedwith said rings, the legs having inwardly opening notches spaced asuitable distance above the bottom ring, and a burner structureincorporating a reservoir having a peripheral bead that is engagedwithin the notches of the legs, the burner structure serving to maintainthe legs under tension.

4. A stove structure comprising a. top ring,

a bottom ring, legs spacing apart and connecting together said rings,the legs being or" channel formation and having notches in their sideflanges that are spaced a suitable distance above the bottom; ring, theside flanges gradually flaring inwardly to where they are interrupted bysaid notches, and'a burner structure incorporating a reservoir having aperipheral bead that is adapted to be engaged within said notches. 1
